Go-Go Day

If a story by Flannery O'Connor and a story by Chuck Palahniuk got together and had kids, they would be these intense, bitingly sharp tales. Prizewinning author Elizabeth Sims digs into the heart of humanity, with characters who start out knowing what they want, and end up knowing what they need. Their paths are rutted and dangerous! In "Dixon Amiss," a lithograph pressman gets a visit from a couple of guys with a life-changing message for him. Regina, a routinely shamed student in "The Cashmere Club" has a shitty life, but seizes a chance for a strange yet comforting makeover. The manchild at the center of "West Forkton Days" teaches himself a searing lesson about chance, love, and art. And the heroine of "Go-Go Day" yearns to be doted on, yet seeks ultimate liberation on her own terms. These are stories for readers who love to think - and who love life.
"Anyone assessing America's best short story writers needs to include Elizabeth Sims in their survey."
